Photo of Dave King singlehandedly sailing his boat from San Francisco to Hawaii in the 2010 TransPac race. I captured this photo in the open ocean, just after he exited the San Francisco Bay. Needless to say, these were challenging shots to obtain - as my sailboat was going up and down and sideways, my subject was doing the same - and we definitely weren't in sync!

Even open-ocean sailors reported the sailing conditions to be very severe that day. Articles of the race reported "Conditions were severe under the bridge, and got worse out in the ocean. It was so rough that Second Verse, a Cascade 36, was hit by a wave and knocked down until the spreaders were under water." Dave was competing against 14 boats of all types, broke his boom during the trip, and finished the race in 17 days and 3 hours. Not only did he place second in the race, he received the Single Handed Sailing Society's Belt Buckle, and the Foxxfyre Trophy for creative ingenuity under sail, because after breaking the boom in the race, he repaired it and kept on sailing! Incredible!

This is a photo of Dave King singlehandedly sailing his boat from San Francisco to Hawaii in the 2010 Trans Pacific race. This is one of my personal favorite photos. I captured this photo in the open ocean, just after he exited the San Francisco Bay. This was only my third time on a sailboat and I was hoping for some "calm" sailing conditions since I get queasy easily. Needless to say, these were challenging shots to obtain - as my sailboat was going up and down and sideways, my subject was doing the same - and we definitely weren't in sync!

This is a photo of Jeff Lebesch singlehandedly sailing his boat from San Francisco to Hawaii in the 2010 TransPac race. I captured this photo out in the open ocean, just after he exited the San Francisco Bay. This was only my third time on a sailboat and I was hoping for some "calm" sailing conditions since I get queasy easily.

It was so rough that Second Verse, a Cascade 36, was hit by a wave and knocked down until the spreaders were under water." Here you can see Jeff sailing his Hammerhead 54 Trimaran, named Hecla. It turned out to not only be severe sailing conditions at the entrance to the bay, but also very busy..... we also saw about 4 naval ships, like the one here, on their way into the bay. Sharp-eyed viewers will notice the hiking trail out to Pt. Bonita Lighthouse in the background.

Sailing just outside the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is exhilarating - the changing tides, ocean swells, and windy conditions generally make for some rough conditions.
